Stonechat (Saxicola rubicola) in winter at Dawlish Warren beach

            Met this feisty little bird by the dune ridge behind Dawlish Warren beach, late on a wintery afternoon. I'm fairly sure it's a male Stonechat (Saxicola rubicola) and he spread his shoulders, dipped his head and seemed to glare at me as I walked past his perch. Perhaps that's why he didn't seem too nervous when I stopped just 2-metres away to try some photos. Devon, UK, 30-Jan-2023.
